🌻CPI
"There are four main trends underlying the June inflation report. First are the items where prices fell sharply at the start of the pandemic and that are now returning to their pre-pandemic levels. Second are items where prices have temporarily risen above their pre-pandemic levels due to supply constraints and could come down. Third are items where prices are likely settling at a permanently higher level. And fourth are items where price increases have slowed rather than accelerated as a result of the pandemic, at least for now."
"Increases in owners’ equivalent rents—the Labor Department’s estimate of what homeowners would have to pay each month if they were renting their own home—also haven’t rebounded very far."
"Those prices could pick up in the months ahead, Ms. Bostjancic said, in part due to rapid increases in home prices. It takes about 18 months for a rise in real-estate prices to translate into stronger owners’ equivalent rents, she said.
“That’s one of those categories that needs to catch up following the worst of the pandemic,” she said.
That could add to inflation pressures in the coming months. Shelter costs represent almost a third of the basket of goods and services that the department looks at to calculate overall inflation."

目前餐飲業的窘境: 餐飲業在各產業中, 薪資較低. 疫情後, 因有人怕被病毒傳染(因為餐飲業是與人高度接觸的行業之一), 或是轉往薪資較高的產業, 或是想找到生活上的平衡(因為餐飲業時間特殊), 或因為家中有幼孩需要照顧, 所以餐飲業人力資源在疫情後反彈的情況, 不若其他產業. 解法? Technology.

more likely意思 在 蔡依橙的閱讀筆記 Facebook 的最佳解答
更新,後來我去找了訪問的原文,我覺得這邊其實是有爭議的。請大家閱讀測驗一下。
我看過之後認為,佛奇實際的意思,是說,你們這些參議員說得太扯了,美國沒有參與中國研發病毒。而他支持更多的調查。
但因為記者剛剛問他,你覺得病毒是自然產生的嗎?而他第一句就回:不,這就是我說過的重點。出現的時機很不好。
就字面上,跟就前後文意,的確有兩種解讀方式。
PolitiFact: That has been the subject of a lot of our fact checking on the coronavirus for the past year. And like you said, there's a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still. So I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?
Fauci: No, actually, that's the point that I said. And I think the real unfortunate aspect of what Sen. Paul did is he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists, which was, you know, you'd almost have to say, if we did not do that we would almost be irresponsible because SARS-CoV-1 clearly originated in China, and we were fortunate to escape a major pandemic. So we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses. So in a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated is that therefore we were involved in creating the virus which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I've ever heard of. But no, I'm not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened. Certainly the people who've investigated say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else. And we need to find that out. So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.

反川陣營,把川普換掉後,漸漸地也走上了川普本來走的道路。
「曾再三堅決反對川普政府關於中國病毒實驗室起源論的美國國家過敏與傳染病研究院(NIAID)院長佛奇(Anthony Fauci),如今改口稱,他「不相信」病毒起源於自然。」
「佛奇曾經在《國家地理》雜誌2020年5月的一篇文章中聲稱,所有的證據都「強烈表明」病毒來自於自然,同時他「基於科學證據」,不接受病毒的實驗室逃逸論。
他的這一番講話,被當時的主流媒體解讀為對川普政府認為武漢病毒研究所與病毒來源有關的斥責。」

🍽Tableware: Plates
🇺🇸美國生活諺語再開👉料理工具篇之「盤 plate」篇
在聊了這麼多跟 food 有關的生活用語之後,我們換個口味,來看看跟裝食物的容器:盤子plate有關的Idiom吧🤔
1⃣ have a lot of things on your plate
2⃣ have one’s plate full / have a full plate
3⃣ has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plates spinning
4⃣ blue plate special
5⃣ clean one’s plate
--
We’ve talked a lot about food, but what about the tableware we put it on (and in)? Are there idioms in English that make use of plates, bowls and cups? Of course there are!
我們之前已經聊夠了跟食物有關的諺語,那麼,放食物的碗盤跟杯子,是否也有諺語呢?當然有囉!
Let’s start off with plates. If you have a lot of food on your plate, it’s going to take a long time to finish, right? In fact, you may not even be able to finish it at all. So if you say you 1⃣ have a lot of things on your plate, it means you have a lot of things to deal with, or a lot of work to do. Ex: I’d like to help you out, but I have a lot on my plate right now. The same meaning can be expressed with 2⃣“have one’s plate full” or “have a full plate.” Ex: I have a full plate today, but I should have free time on Friday.
我們這禮拜先介紹盤子(plate)。如果你的盤中盛了一大堆食物,表示你得花很多時間吃完,是吧?你甚至根本吃不完。所以,如果你說 have a lot of things on the plate,就是表達「手頭上有很多事情要處理、完成」。如:I’d like to help you out, but I have a lot on my plate right now.(我很想幫你,但我現在手上有很多事要忙。)片語have one’s plate full或have a full plate也是表達相同意思,如:I have a full plate today, but I should have free time on Friday.(我今天超忙的,但我週五應該有空。)
Have you ever seen a circus act where a performer spins a number of plates on top of wooden poles? It looks challenging, doesn’t it? So if you say 3⃣ somebody has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plates spinning, it means they’re dealing with a number of different things at once. Ex: I don’t know how working mothers manage to keep so many plates spinning.
你曾經看過雜耍團有人用木棍頂著一堆盤子旋轉嗎?看起來很難吧?所以,如果你說某人has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plate spinning,就是說他們正在處理一堆棘手、難以處理的事情。如:I don’t know how working mothers manage to keep so many plates spinning.(我不知道全職媽媽怎麼能處理這麼多麻煩事。)
But some plate-related idioms are actually about food. If you go to a diner or cafe in the U.S. or Canada, you may see a 4⃣“blue plate special” item on the menu. This refers to a low-priced meal that usually changes daily. But why is it called a blue plate special? Is it served on a blue plate? In the 1920s and ’30s, it actually was served on a blue plate, which is where the name comes from. But these days the plate is more likely to be white. Ex: The diner across the street has a good blue plate special.
不過,有些跟碗相關的諺語倒是真的跟食物有關。如果你去到美國或加拿大的餐廳或簡餐店,你或許會在菜單上看到「藍盤特餐」。這指的是每天會換的低價餐點。但為什麼要叫這個名稱呢?事實上,在二零到三零年代時期,當時餐點事實上是用藍色盤子裝的,所以才有這名稱的由來。不過最近供餐的盤子都已經換成白色的了。如:The diner across the street has a good blue plate special.(對街餐廳供應的便宜特餐很好吃。)
And finally, let’s talk about cleaning your plate. If you think this is about washing the dishes, you’re wrong. 5⃣ To clean one’s plate means to eat all of the food on it. Ex: The dinner Mom made was so good that we all cleaned our plates.
最後來聊聊洗盤子(clean your plate)這件事。如果你以為我們真的是要聊洗碗,那你就錯了。clean one’s plate事實上是「把所有東西吃光」的意思。如:The dinner Mom made was so good that we all cleaned our plates.(老媽煮的晚餐太好吃了,大家都吃到碗底朝天。)
